Roasted Spring Vegetables
In this recipe, the cooking happens in 2 stages. The first roast for the root vegetables like turnips, sweet potatoes, radishes, and small local potatoes, happens slow and long, or until they are cooked to a golden-brown color and soft inside. The ajwain and the fenugreek leaves add a slightly bitter depth of flavor to the sweetness of the vegetables. Once they are done, we add light vegetables like asparagus or sugar snap peas and roast additionally just until they are cooked. Topped off with tangy amchur (dried green mango powder) and garnished with pomegranate seeds, these vegetables can take center stage with a crusty bread and a dipping sauce or can be a delicious side dish.
